Full Breakdown
Provo City Code Section 9.31.010 (Stopping, Standing or Parking Prohibited - No Signs Required) makes it unlawful to stop, stand, or park a vehicle on or over a sidewalk, in front of a public or private driveway, within an intersection, within fifteen (15) feet of a fire hydrant, on or over a crosswalk, within twenty (20) feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within thirty (30) feet of a flashing beacon, stop sign, or traffic-control signal, within fifty (50) feet of a railroad crossing, and within twenty (20) feet of a fire station driveway entrance. These local rules track Utah Code Section 41-6a-1401, the statewide standing-and-parking restriction. Section 9.31.020 additionally requires vehicles to park parallel to the curb in compliance with painted lines, curbs, and signs. Local authority to enact these restrictions derives from Utah Code Section 41-6a-208, which empowers local highway authorities to regulate or prohibit stopping, standing, and parking on streets under their jurisdiction.
